Architectural ornaments are decorative elements used to enhance the appearance of a building. GINGERBREAD is an ornamental trimming made of wood, plaster, or metal, often carved in a scroll-like pattern. Guttae are small, cone-shaped ornaments used in classical architecture, usually made of terracotta or stone. Rosaces are circular ornaments, often with floral designs, used in Gothic architecture. All three of these architectural ornaments are used to add visual interest and beauty to a building.
